WALTER A. NORDLING, OF STREATOR, ILLINOIS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 758,098, dated April 26, 1904.

Applicatiorrfiled November 7, 1903. Serial No. 180,195. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WALTER A. NORDLING, a citizen of the United States, residing at Streator, in the'county of Lasalle and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in a Combined Shade-Roller and Curtain-Pole Holder, of which the following is a specification.

My invention pertains to means forholding shade-rollers and curtain-poles; and it consists in the novel and advantageous combined shade-roller and curtain-pole holder hereinafter described, and particularly pointed out in the claims appended.

In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the combined shade-roller and curtain-pole holder constituting the preferred embodiment of my invention; and Fig. 2, a sectional view, on a reduced scale, taken in the plane indicated by the line 2 2 of Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in both views of the drawings.

My novel combined device comprises a bracket A, preferably of sheetmetal, designed to be fixedly connected in a horizontal or approximately horizontal position to a window'- frame or the like and provided with a notch c or otherwise adapted to support one end of a shade-roller, and a pole-holder B, preferably of metal, connected and adjustable vertically The bracket is peculiar in that its outer portion is bent backwardly upon its main portion to form a clamp Z and is connected to said mainportion through the medium of. a screw 0., which, by preference, extends through a plain aperture in the backwardly-bent portion and into a threaded aperture in the main portion, as shown in Fig, 2. The pole-holder is made up of an upright bar or portion (2, disposed'and adjustably held in the clamp b of the bracket, and a pole-seat e at the upper end of said bar, provided, by preference, with a screw f for securing a cur; tain-pole therein. a

In the practical use of devices embodying my invention the brackets thereof are connected to'a window-frame, and a shade-roller is mounted in said brackets in the usual manner, while a curtain-pole is placed and, if de sired, secured in the seats of the pole-holders after the manner shown by dotted lines in Fig. 1. With this done it will be observed that the pole-holders may be conveniently ad'- j usted vertically and adjustably fixed through the medium-of the clampsof the brackets to fix the upper end of a curtain on the pole with respect to the window-frame and the shade on the roller, and thereby shut out more or less of the light.

Notwithstanding the advantages of my novel combined shade roller and curtain pole holder it will be observed that the same is simple and inexpensive and embodies no delicate parts such as are likely to get out of order after a short period of use.

I have entered into a detail description of the construction and relative arrangement of the parts embraced in the present and preferred embodiment of my invention in order to impart'a full, clear, and exact understanding of. the same. I do not desire, however, to be understood as confining myself'to such specific construction and relative arrangement of parts, as such changes or modifications may be made in practice as fairly fall within the scope of my invention as claimed.

Having described my invention, what -I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,

1. A combined-shade-roller and curtain-pole holder comprising a bracket arranged to be connected in a horizontal position to a window-frame, and receive one end of a'shaderoller, and having avertically-di'sposed clamp, embodying a screw, at its outer end, and-a pole-holder having a vertical portion adjustably fixed in and adjustable up and down in the vertically-disposed clamp of the bracket, and a pole-seat carried by said vertical portion.

2. A combined shade-roller and curtain-pole holder, comprising a bracket adapted to be connected to a Window-frame or the like, and support a shade-roller, and having its outer portion bent backwardly upon its main portion to form a clamp, and also having-a screw connecting said portions, and a pole-holder having an upright portion arranged and ad-
